US Inflation Rate

The latest annual inflation rate for the United States is 1.9% through August 2017, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on September 14, 2017. To be clear, this U.S. inflation rate is for the 12-month period from August 2016 to August 2017 as the United States government typically publishes inflation rates about two weeks into a new month using data collected through to the end of the previous month. The BLS will release inflation data and U.S. inflation rates for September 2017 and through to the latest annual period on October 13, 2017 at 8:30 AM ET.
